Eastman Kodak have reported about concluding a cross-license contract in October with Nokia, which allows the two companies to use each others' patented solutions. The agreement, having serious advantages for both parties, has no details or financial background revealed in the short press release. After the world's first cell phone to have Kodak image processing algorithms, Motorola ZN5, it is evident what kind of advantages will Nokia have, but it is not yet sure what Nokia patents will provide a serious benefit for Kodak. It is also not known how will the Motorola-Kodak partnership continue after this license agreement.
